Genuine OEM WPW10482836 Washer Lid Lock & Latch Assembly
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WPW10482836 is the lid lock and latch assembly for select Whirlpool and Maytag washers. The latch keeps the washer lid closed during operation. If the lid is not latched, the washer's door switch prevents the washer from running, so a defective latch can stop the washer from starting or spinning.
This is the original Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent. The assembly includes the latch mechanism and the connecting wire to the washer's electrical system. Check your model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the washer before you begin. Remove the top panel or access cover per your model's service guide, note how the wire connector attaches, and unscrew and remove the old latch. Position and secure the new latch, reconnect the wire, and refit the panel. Restore power and test that the lid locks and the washer starts. If the washer still won't run, test the latch switches for continuity against your wiring diagram.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't start or the lid won't lock. Is this the part I need?

Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part from Whirlpool, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Is this the same as other Whirlpool lid latch assemblies?
Not necessarily. Whirlpool uses different lid latch numbers for different washers. Match the part number and your model number, or contact our support team and we'll check for you.
Will this fit my washer?
It is listed for select Whirlpool and Maytag models, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your full model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
